| ad8f892 | I za men vremeto e vrag, no po drug nachin. Za ostanalite teche v edna posoka, a u men se g'rchi i izviva, bluzhdae k'm zemiata, l'deto "nikoga" e po-istinsko ot "sega" ..." | Marion Zimmer Bradley | ||
| 05ae574 | Los dos se llamaban Rafael y ambos habian hecho un juramento, lucharon juntos, murieron y fueron enterrados en la misma tumba..." Como no sabia muy bien lo que hacia, extendio la mano hacia Regis y tomo la de el en la suya. Dijo, "Me gustaria morir asi. ?A ti no?" | Marion Zimmer Bradley | ||
| f01e923 | A king must protect his people from outsiders, from invaders, and lead his people to defend themselves--a king must be the first to thrust himself between the land and all danger, just as a farmer stands to defend his fields from any robber. But it is not his duty to dictate to them what their innermost hearts may do. | Marion Zimmer Bradley | ||
| fe2285b | If I, who am rhu'ad, do not break the laws," she said, "then no one will ever dare to break them, and our planet will stagnate in dead traditions." | Marion Zimmer Bradley | ||
| d993831 | I love her, Rajasta, I love her too much to hurt her; and I can give her nothing! No vows, no hope of real happiness, only sorrow and pain and, perhaps, shame... | Marion Zimmer Bradley | ||
| d8b7491 | That faith seems too simple to me-the idea that we have only to believe that Christ died for our sins once and for all. But I know too much of the truth ... of the way life works, with life after life in which we ourselves, and only we, can work out the causes we have set in motion and make amends for the harm we have done. It stands not in the realm of reason that one man, however holy and blessed, could atone for all the sins of all men, .. | Marion Zimmer Bradley | ||
| d447005 | She cried aloud, with a great mourning cry for all that she had never known in this life, and the agony of a bereavement unguessed till this moment. | cry regret | Marion Zimmer Bradley | |

| c8ae103 | Beware what you speak," said the Merlin very softly, "for indeed the words we speak make shadows of what is to come, and by speaking them we bring them to pass, my king." | Marion Zimmer Bradley | ||
| f5bd105 | Even fiction--perhaps especially fiction--has more truth in it than the author knows. | Marion Zimmer Bradley | ||
| 9846e06 | The man who feels fear without cause is a fool; but the man is twice a fool who does not feel fear when there is cause. | Marion Zimmer Bradley | ||

| 95d466e | Roasted Tomato Soup Serves 4-6 This soup is perfect for those cold winter nights when you want to relax with a comforting grilled cheese and tomato soup combo. The slow roasting of the tomatoes gives it tons of flavor. If you have a garden full of fresh tomatoes, feel free to use those instead of the canned variety. Stay away from fresh grocery store tomatoes in the winter, as they are usually flavorless and mealy and won't give you the bes.. | John Chatham | ||
| ae6857a | For example, there is the matter of eating paint. The whales peel the paint off the pool's inner walls with their teeth. To those who witness the behavior, it looks as if they are nibbling on the wall or the floor of the pool. They are trying to occupy themselves, stimulating their enormous jaws and great intelligences with obsessively meticulous work. | John Hargrove | ||
| 41088af | An equality that requires blacks to be twice as good is not equality - it's a double standard. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| b0f1746 | Poetry was the processing of my thoughts until the slag of justification fell away and I was left with the cold steel truths of life. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| 374a48e | In most black people, there is a South Side, a sense of home, that never leaves, and yet to compete in the world, we have to go forth. So we learn to code-switch and become bilingual. We save our Timberlands for the weekend, and our jokes for the cats in the mail room. Some of us give ourselves up completely and become the mask, while others overcompensate and turn every dustup into the Montgomery bus boycott. But increasingly, as we move.. | bilingualism black-people minorities race-in-america | Ta-Nehisi Coates | |

| 1af2251 | There's a liberal story that limited opportunities, and barriers, lead to employment problems and criminal records, but then there's another story that has to do with norms, behaviors, and oppositional culture. You can't prove the latter statistically, but it still might be true.' Holzer thinks that both arguments contain truth and that one doesn't preclude the other. Fair enough. Suffice it to say, though, that the evidence supporting stru.. | african-american-norms black-culture employment racism structural-inequality | Ta-Nehisi Coates | |
| fcf5060 | We are all our beautiful bodies and so must never be prostrate before barbarians, must never submit our original self, our one of one, to defiling and plunder. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| cef4577 | One strain of African American thought holds that it is a violent black recklessness--the black gangster, the black rioter--that strikes the ultimate terror in white America. Perhaps it does, in the most individual sense. But in the collective sense, what this country really fears is black respectability, Good Negro Government. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| 2bec8e5 | Assessing Miller's rebuttal and the 1895 convention, W.E.B. Du Bois made a sobering observation. Miller had, on some fundamental level, misunderstood the aims of the white men who sought to destroy Reconstruction. From Du Bois's perspective, the 1895 constitutional convention was not an exercise in moral reform, or an effort to purge the state of corruption. These were simply bywords embraced to cover for the restoration of a despotic white.. | american-history good-negro-government negro-rule reconstruction south-carolina w-e-b-du-bois | Ta-Nehisi Coates | |
| aa97aba | The galaxy belonged to them, and as terror was communicated to our children, I saw mastery communicated to theirs. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| 17f204e | We meant well. We tried our best. "Good intention" is a hall pass through history, a sleeping pill that ensures the Dream." | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| 8ddb709 | When our elders presented school to us, they did not present it as a place of high learning but as a means of escape from death and penal warehousing. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||

| c58d7f7 | The truth is that the police reflect America in all of its will and fear, and whatever we might make of the country's criminal justice policy, it cannot be said that it was imposed by a repressive minority. The abuses that have followed from these policies--the sprawling carceral state, the random detention of black people, the torture of suspects--are the product of democratic will. And so to challenge the police is to challenge the Americ.. | police-brutality | Ta-Nehisi Coates | |
| 4fb7d59 | To question what I see, then to question what I see after that, because the questions matter as much, perhaps more than, the answers. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| ff83a47 | But you cannot arrange your life around them and the small chance of the Dreamers coming into consciousness. Our moment is too brief. Our bodies are too precious. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| dd26e0a | Power was what mattered, and what characterized the differences between black and white America was not a difference in work ethic, but a system engineered to place one on top of the other | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| ae635d6 | To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he's doing is good, or else that it's a well-considered act in conformity with natural law.' This is the foundation of the Dream--its adherents must not just believe in it but believe that it is just, believe that their possession of the Dream is the natural result of grit, honor, and good works. There is some passing acknowledgment of the bad old days, which, by the way, were not.. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| e80aeaa | In a democracy, so the saying goes, the people get the government they deserve. Part of Obama's genius is a remarkable ability to soothe race consciousness among whites. Any black person who's worked in the professional world is well acquainted with this trick. But never has it been practiced at such a high level, and never have its limits been so obviously exposed. This need to talk in dulcet tones, to never be angry regardless of the offe.. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| 4ca8d7e | If he hated, he hated because it was human for the enslaved to hate the enslaver, natural as Prometheus hating the birds. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| 514d033 | not just because of the black people swept away but because I know that "gentrification" is but a more pleasing name for white supremacy, is the interest on enslavement, the interest on Jim Crow, the interest on redlining, compounding across the years, and these new urbanites living off of that interest are, all of them, exulting in a crime. To speak the word gentrification is to immediately lie. And I know, even in my anger, even as I writ.. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| 35d2d62 | It is by choice not chance...that we choose to advance, The Marshall Team; We can achieve...We will achieve. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| 071156f | To secure the White House, Obama needed to be a Harvard-trained lawyer with a decade of political experience and an incredible gift for speaking to cross sections of the country; Donald Trump needed only money and white bluster. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| dfe952b | They were the children of the Jackie Robinson elite, whose parents rose up out of the ghettos, and the sharecropping fields, went out into the suburbs, only to find that they carried the mark with them and could not escape. Even when they succeeded, as so many of them did, they were singled out, made examples of, transfigured into parables of diversity. They were symbols and markers, never children or young adults. And so they come to Howar.. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| 20e539c | This is one of those stories where the feeling of the moment stands in for visual details. | moments words-fail words-fail-me words-failed | Ta-Nehisi Coates | |
| f54fe2f | Perhaps after a serious discussion and debate - the kind that HR 40 proposes - we may find that the country can never fully repay African Americans. But we stand to discover much about ourselves in such a discussion - and that is perhaps what scares us. The idea of reparations is frightening not simply because we might lack the ability to pay. The idea of reparations threatens something much deeper - America's heritage, history, and standin.. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| 0307a76 | Liberals today mostly view racism not as an active, distinct evil but as a relative of white poverty and inequality. They ignore the long tradition of this country actively punishing black success--and the elevation of that punishment, in the mid-twentieth century, to federal policy. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| 74d58da | I had not yet been to Gettysburg. I had not read Thavolia Glymph. All I had was the feeling, the weight. I did not yet know, and I do not fully know now. But part of what I know ist hat there is the burden of living among Dreamers, and there is the extra burden of your country telling you the Dream is just, noble, and real, and you are crazy for seeing the corruption and smelling the sulfur. For their innocence, they nullify your anger, you.. | Ta-Nehisi Coates |
